The acclaimed author of the Pendragon Cycle returns with an epic fantasy series debut steeped in Celtic magic and myth.
When the barbarian Scálda set upon the isle of Eirlandia, the High King calls on the feuding clans to unite against a common enemy. As first-born son of the Celtic king Ardan, Conor should be battlechief. Instead, that honor has fallen to his younger brother Liam. Now is his chance to earn his tribe's respect.
When Conor is wrongly accused of theft and cast out of his tribe, he embarks on a dangerous mission to not only prove his innocence but to expose the treachery that led him on this path. He also seeks the ethereal beauty he saw being abducted by the Scálda.
Convinced that she is no mortal woman, but one of the faéry, Conor must find and rescue her. Because he knows that if the Scálda gain the secret of faéry magic, their terror will be unstoppable.
